(might check though) Thanks, I am just in the process of installing the Darwin server now. I am wondering if there would be enough CPU power to convert the stream real time via mencoder or ffmpeg. Will have to experiment a bit. >didn't the Real (TM) server run on freeBSD at one stage? The only Real server I found were the commercial ones ? I seem to recall there used to be a free server for a limited amount of streams, but this customer needs 25-40. ---Mike
